About 1 Old School Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Old School Place is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Banbury (OX16 4UB). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 10 years ago, in November 2016. Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 is 36.2% above the 2016 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Old School Place is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX16 4UB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Old School Place. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Old School Place was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Old School Place. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX16 4UB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Old School Place is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
